Gelitirilmekte

Geliştirilmekte is a Turkish verb form meaning “is being developed.” It is the present continuous passive form built from the verb geliştirmek (to develop) with the passive suffix -il- and the present tense suffix -mekte, indicating an ongoing development process. A closely related form, geliştirilmektedir, is used in formal writing and news.

Morphology and usage

The structure can be understood as geliştiril- (stem for develop with passive) + -iril- (passive) + -mekte (present continuous). This construction is commonly employed in official statements, project reports, and technical descriptions to emphasize that development is underway. The phrase can function as the main predicate or as part of a larger clause.

Common spellings and notes

The standard Turkish spelling is geliştirilmekte. In texts without Turkish diacritics or in informal contexts, it may appear as gelistirilmekte or, less commonly, gelitirilmekte, depending on transcription practices. Despite spelling variations, the intended meaning remains the same: ongoing development.

Examples

- Bu proje şu anda geliştirilmektedir. (This project is currently being developed.)

- Sistem güvenlik protokollerinin iyileştirilmesi geliştirilmektedir. (The improvement of security protocols is being developed.)
